A new poll from PRRI found a majority of Americans oppose Transgender Bathroom Restrictions. Key findings from the poll include:

Nearly two-thirds (64%) of Americans oppose allowing small business owners in their state to refuse to provide products or services to gay or lesbian people if doing so violates their religious beliefs.

More than seven in ten (71%) Americans oppose allowing churches and places of worship to endorse political candidates while retaining their tax-exempt status, compared to only 22% who favor such a policy.

More than six in ten (63%) favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry legally. As recently as 2013, only slightly more than half (52%) the public backed same-sex marriage nationally.

There is broad public support for laws protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people against discrimination in jobs, public accommodations and housing. Seven in ten (70%) Americans favor laws that would provide these protections to LGBT people, compared to roughly one-quarter (26%) who oppose such laws.

A majority (53%) of Americans oppose laws that would require transgender people to use bathrooms that correspond to their sex at birth rather than their current gender identity. Nearly four in ten (39%) favor such laws. Notably, nearly one in ten (8%) Americans report no opinion on this issue.

A new national survey conducted for Project Right Side shows strong bipartisan support for federal legislation to protect LGBT Americans from discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations. The poll by Just Win Research shows 75%of Americans support LGBT inclusive non-discrimination protections, including 57% support among GOP voters. The survey also shows 80% of registered voters believe it’s already against federal law to discriminate against LGBT Americans. 64% of respondents are more likely to support a candidate who favors non-discrimination laws. The July 2016 survey of more than 1,000 registered voters also shows strong majorities supporting the freedom to marry and the ability of openly LGBT Americans to serve in the US military. | National Polling Memo | National Polling Topline

A summer 2015 national poll conducted for Project Right Side and American Unity Fund shows strong support for allowing gay and lesbian couples to have the freedom to marry. 57% of registered voters favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, including a high of 39% of Republicans. This shows the steady but meaningful shift among Republican voters: in a 2013 poll commissioned for Project Right Side, pollsters found 25% support for the freedom to marry – a 14point shift in opinion in the last two years. Pollsters surveyed 2,000 registered voters, including nearly 800 Republicans and Republican leaning voters just days before the US Supreme Court’s historic decision granting the freedom to marry. The poll also surveyed 500 voters in the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
